The animated comedy tops the new Sandler flick; full box office report!

Well-reviewed animated film "Kung Fu Panda" topped fellow new release "You Don't Mess with the Zohan" to claim a victory atop the box office.

"Panda" earned $60 million this weekend according to estimates, which gave it a $20 million margin over "Zohan"'s $40 million gross. "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" ranked third with an additional $22.8 million.

"Sex and the City," last week's surprise winner, threw away 62.6% of its take this week for a fourth place finish with $21.3 million. Just like the movie's monster opening weekend take, such a big second week drop is atypical of chick flicks.

Weekend Top Ten:
1) Kung Fu Panda - $60 million
2) You Don't Mess with the Zohan - $40 million
3) Indiana Jones - $22.8 million ($253 million)
4) Sex and the City - $21.3 million ($99.3 million)
5) The Strangers - $9.3 million ($37.6 million)
6) Iron Man - $7.5 million ($288.9 million)
7) The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian - $5.5 million ($125.8 million)
8) What Happens in Vegas - $3.4 million ($72.2 million)
9) Baby Mama - $0.8 million ($57.9 million)
10) Made of Honor - $0.8 million ($44.7 million)
